User Experience

The users may notice new features available: IPv6 connectivity with hotspots, smaller dependency chain in server environments.

Dependencies

These are packages directly affected by this change. They will be updated to new major versions:

NetworkManager

network-manager-applet

nm-connection-editor

NetworkManager-openvpn

NetworkManager-openswan

NetworkManager-openconnect

NetworkManager-vpnc

NetworkManager-pptp

NetworkManager-l2tp

NetworkManager-iodine

NetworkManager-ssh

Contingency Plan

It would be possible to revert the change by downgrading the affected packages (see "Dependencies" above). All packages would need to be downgraded. However, as the new version is compatible with the previous versions we don't anticipate the need to do this.
